Using the Docking bar
You can use the Docking bar to customize the Canvas interface. By default, the Docking bar is
displayed near the top of the screen below the Properties bar when you launch Canvas for the first
time.
To display the Docking bar:
Choose Window | Docking Bar | Show Docking Bar. When you display the Docking bar, the
palettes that were docked the last time it was displayed will remain locked.
To hide the Docking bar:
Choose Window | Docking Bar | Hide Docking Bar.
You can move the Docking bar from the top to the right and left sides of your workspace.
To move the Docking bar:
Click and hold the pointer on the Docking bar (not on a palette tab). Drag the Docking bar from its
present position to either the top, left, or right.
The settings for the Docking bar are stored in the CVAppData.Set file.
Docking palettes
When you dock a palette, a tab with the palette’s name appears on the Docking bar. The tabs of
docked palettes give you quick access to tools or features. Docked palettes also leave more screen
space.
You can dock most Canvas palettes, including tool palettes (see "Tool palettes" on page 23). You can
dock other palettes from the Toolbox, including the Inks, Strokes, Transparency, and Brushes
palettes. You can also dock command or effects palettes such as Align, Blend, Envelope, Object
Specs, and Type. Dialog boxes that require you to click OK or Cancel before continuing can’t be
docked.
